Convert a time between places
Enter a date and time on one place's clock and see the same moment in every other place, with the local date, the UTC offset and a note when it falls on the day before or the day after.
Every hour, side by side
A grid lines up each place's clock against one reference day. Working hours are shaded, date changes are marked, and zones on a half hour or 45 minutes, such as India and Nepal, show their minutes.
Find the overlap, then send it
See when every place is inside its working hours, or the best compromises when no such time exists. Pick a slot and a length, copy a plain-text summary, or download an .ics calendar file.

- 1
Search for a city or a time zone and add each place, from two to eight. Adjust the working hours of any place that does not keep 09:00 to 17:00.
- 2
Choose the date and the reference place. The grid follows that place's calendar day, and times you type are on its clock.
- 3
Read the overlap list and select Use on a window or a compromise, or select a column in the grid.

Set the length and a title, then copy the summary or download the calendar file.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a time from one time zone to another?
Add the places you need by searching for a city or a zone name such as Asia/Kolkata. Choose the date, type the time, and pick the place whose clock that time is on. Each place then shows its own time and date for that moment, in 24-hour form.
How does it find a meeting time?
Each place has working hours, 09:00 to 17:00 until you change them. For the date you pick, the planner works out to the minute when every place is inside its hours and lists those windows. The same hours are applied to every day: weekends and public holidays are not taken into account, so check those yourself.
What is a compromise time?
When no window is long enough for your meeting, the planner lists up to five start times marked Compromise. They are ranked by how many places are inside working hours, then by how many minutes the other places are outside them. Each one names who is outside and by how much, so you can see who is being asked to start early or stay late.
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. Offsets are worked out for the date you choose, using the time zone rules built into your browser. New York is 9 hours 30 minutes behind Mumbai in July and 10 hours 30 minutes behind in December, and the grid shows whichever applies. On a day when the reference place changes its clocks, the grid has 23 or 25 columns.
What if the time I type is skipped or happens twice?
On the day clocks go forward, an hour does not exist. A time inside it is moved forward by the length of the jump, so 02:30 becomes 03:30, and a note says so. On the day clocks go back, an hour happens twice; the first one is used, and the grid has a column for each so you can select the second.
Which cities and time zones can I add?
The search covers more than 200 major cities, with many in India, the Gulf, South-East Asia, Europe and North America, and every IANA time zone your browser supports. If your city is missing, add a larger city nearby that keeps the same time, or type the zone name. You can compare two to eight places.
What is in the calendar file?
The .ics file holds one event with its start and end in UTC, so any calendar app shows it at the correct local time. The title is yours, and the description lists the meeting time in each place. It has no attendees or reminders and is not sent to anyone: open it to add the event to your own calendar, or attach it to an email.
Is anything saved or uploaded?
Nothing is uploaded. Your places, their working hours, the reference place and the meeting length are stored in this browser on this device, so they are there on your next visit. Reset places erases them. The date, the time and the meeting title are not saved.
